The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP) - Firewire News Case Study: U.S. Coast Guard Mail Fraud & Identity Theft

The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP) was born of the struggles of one tenacious survivor of domestic violence and stalking. The NCIDP continues her work with the help of many. Read more about the NCIDP...

(Firewire News) - A victim of identity theft at the hands of a "renegade member" of the United States Coast Guard filed the following criminal complaint with the Commander of the U.S. Coast Guard. The victim reports that the USCG Commander has never made any reply or otherwise responded to inform the victim that the crime was being investigated and/or prosecuted.

IIULA status:

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is known by the NCIDP to have had previous full notice of a standardized Survivor's Identity Information User License Agreement (IIULA) prior to this incident.

Every breach of law perpetrated in this case, as discussed here and noted in the IIULA, was well known by the USCG to be felony violent assault crimes before those crimes were perpetrated upon the victim of this case.

The perpetrators of this case may not claim any ignorance of these laws, and must be presumed to have perpetrated these violent felony assault crimes with the willing and willful intent to do violence to the victim, including against survivors such as to willfully precipitate homicidal assaults upon such victims.

The NCIDP vigorously applauds the efforts of the victim to confront the violence perpetrated by the errant USCG member, and their review of this formal criminal complaint by that victim shows that it is largely sound and accurate, although citation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 appears to actually require involvement of more than one individual in the perpetrations and may have been mistakenly cited by the victim parenthetically in the fifth paragraph.

However, the NCIDP is not as optimistic as the authoring victim, and doubts that this was an isolated incident from a solitary renegade who infiltrated the ranks. In the experience of the NCIDP, more often than not, the infiltrating willful perpetrators are usually higher up the tree, and the actual individuals executing the violent assaults like this are innocent dupes of the scheme in the same fashion as Cianci (U.S. v. Cianci (S Ct, 2004)). Letter reprinted with permission of the authoring victim.

Commanding Officer:

I ache that this letter is necessary. A tragedy has occurred within your ranks, and it is my sad civic and patriotic duty to bring it to your attention.

Earlier this year I received a letter from a member of the Coast Guard's vessel documentation offices. This letter stated that disclosure of my private Social Security Number was specifically mandatory according to Federal statutes, and that if I didn't respond to that letter immediately and therein provide my private Social Security Number to that member, that my vessel registration application would be denied.

Today I have located my documentation application form and thereon rediscovered the disclosure statement that, pursuant to Federal statutes, disclosure is voluntary and subject to the Privacy Act. Accordingly, my right to withhold, specifically, my private Social Security Number is guaranteed by Federal statutes (42 USC Sec 405; P.L. 97-579 Sec 7; 5 USC Sec 552a; 18 USC Sections 241, 242, 1028, 1341; et al.) and case law (Harman v. Forsenius, 380 U.S. 528, 542 (1965); United States v. Katz, 389 U.S. 347 (1967); Department of Justice v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 109 S. Ct. 1468, 1476 (1989); et al.), which further prohibit that USCG member from any and all denials of services or benefits because of the exercise of that right.

Our own President and Commander-In-Chief [G.W. Bush] has railed repeatedly against the 'enemies of freedom, liberty, and democracy'. He has, in fact, declared us to be at war with those forces. I am greatly disheartened to see one of these 'enemies of freedom, liberty and democracy' within the very ranks of our own military, operating so actively in the interests of those “enemies of freedom”.

If I was in the same hurry to give up American freedoms and liberties as that member of the USCG is to destroy them, I would have moved to North Korea. That member's actions to advance the cause of those same enemies with whom we are declared to be at war sounds as much like treason as the numerous other Federal felonies that it clearly is (18 USC Sections 241, 242, 1028, 1028A, 1341; et al.).

I am assuming that this is a single renegade member engaged in an isolated effort to destroy freedoms and liberties and the tenets of democracy in the interests of the sworn enemies of this nation. However, I ardently request that you thoroughly investigate this egregious betrayal of our nation's interests by this member. Should this prove to be a conspiracy and racketeering conspiracy involving more than this singular member, I firmly believe that the highest level of authority involved holds the highest level of responsibility – and that only the highest level commanding officer involved should face the firing squad for such a treasonous conspiracy. Still, of course, as Cianci learned the hard way, it remains racketeering conspiracy even if the majority of racketeers are ignorant dupes.

I most assuredly am offended by the criminal perpetrations that your member has victimized me with. Just as with any other perp of violence, just like any rapist, that member clearly feels entitled to ignore the word, “No!”. Please see that this perp in your ranks, and any others likewise engaged or involved, are brought promptly to justice. Furthermore, please keep me informed as to the progress of your investigations. And, finally, please purge any and every trace of my illegally obtained private Social Security Number from every document, file and database.

Thank you for respecting my rights and protecting survivors of violence everywhere, and the freedoms, liberties and rights of this nation, from just such perps as that renegade USCG member.
